Sometimes we find objects, people or places that are similar or different in some way.
We use “as … as” to say that one person, object of place is equal in characteristics to
another. We use “not as … as” to say that two people, things or places are different
in some characteristic. Study Grammar Box 4 to learn how to use these structures.
